Y'all do know that "tonguing" is part of a trumpet player's technique, right? They even have sub-categories like Doodle Tonguing, Double Tonguing, Speed Tonguing and Softer Multiple Tonguing. You gotta be careful about overworking the embrochure though
Flute players use double tonguing, triple tonguing and flutter tonguing as well. I would venture that most brass and woodwinds (except maybe reed instruments) use some form of tonguing. We're very good at it.
a scholar in a library is just like a swinging primate. “You’ve got your current source, which is the branch you are on, and then you see the next source, on the next branch, so you swing over. And on that new hanging vine, you see the next source, which you didn’t see before, and you swing again.”
Yes! I have done this on many occassions. But, I did get my grad degree before computers were used as much to say nothing of my undergrad degree.
How do you prevent people from browsing in the stacks? Were the stacks inaccessible? A large portion of my university undergrad general library was like that.
Not as bad as the immobilizing back spasms from hell back in May, but some of my neck and shoulder muscles are so tight right now that it hurts to bend my head forward or move it from side to side, and writing sends little needles of pain through the sore spots.
I've started going to a chiropractor and I already feel better. Not great yet, but def. better.
The main branch of the library isn't very well designed. When I was living in a small town north of here, I commented about how nice their library was. The librarian said they visited several libraries to get ideas and used our library as an example of what not to do.
I am feeling better today. Drained and exhausted but better. After I logged off last night, I actually fell straight to sleep. Take that you frelling insomnia fairies.
I'm so sorry about the meltdown. But a vacuum ultimately is a small price to pay for an epiphany. I'm glad things are a little calmer for you now.
It was also ironic. I loathe vacuuming, really really loathe it. I will seriously not vacuum for months if I can still see the color of the rugs through the cat hair. Floors are my house-keeping downfall. Like kyptonite. Which last night was my downfall.
Also, vacuum totally had it coming. You should replace it with the Dyson Animal model. OK, it is crazy expensive even on eBay where I got mine. But it is awesomely awesome on pet hair. My rugs are a new color.
t runs to check eBay
Can you get insist-y at your office about getting some AC in there? Working in a hot office all day isn't good for the coping skills, no matter what is going on with you, sweetie. I'm also not sure it is legal.
I am going to try and check today to find out what is happening on this. If there is a legal room temperature, I know we soared past it on Friday but I don't know about yesterday. But, yes, the crankiness at the office isn't just me. We all pretty much just went to email yesterday.
This was the one that Toto just laid next to with his head on his leg.
We likes him.
For her, every book is sacred
Am I the only one earwormed with a Monty Python song now?
I told her I was going to be looking for some job here to support me, because at least I'd be making some money. She of course said that's why I should come home, so I wouldn't have to keep losing money. And I said I understood that, but I was staying here.
Go team P-C!
so I finally said, "You don't have to understand, I've got it taken care of," which is so my favorite thing I've said today.
It is mine too. Do you realize how much better you sound today? It's wonderful.
Now I've got to go figure out my armpit grain
Mine whorls all around. Which apparently why shaving sucks so badly and why it takes three directions if I get waxed. I need permanent hair removal obviously.
Can anyone recommend a really powerful women's antiperspirant?
I like Secret. For just deo, I like the crystal ones. No odor but you can still sweat. I wore only that much of the time in Phoenix. Sweating was good there, stinking was not.
Em learned to drink from a cup, give kisses (which she does open mouth and it's funny, especially when she does the third thing she learned) and stick her tongue out.
Em's learning to kiss with tongue?
Oy! I have cramps today. Nazi death cramps kicking my pale tummy with their shiny black boots.
I love the new hair lib! What a change too.
Book-free anythings are wrong.
Well, I know my PT could fix this, but I don't see him till Thursday.
All of that, and I forgot to boast that I had voted already today.
(San Diego needs a new mayor. Again. Because after the write-in lost, the guy we actually did elect sort of needed to resign. Let's never discuss it again.)
I like the looks of your library, beth.
When I think of "stacks" I think of the maze of shelves at the LSU library that was in the middle of the building and seemed to be structurally separate from the rest of the library - a tower of metal shelves and books and flooring you could see, with more floors than the actual building and its own staircases and the whole thing groaning as you moved around it.
That's not, I guess, the definition.
If you have no place to go - take it . If you have things to do I'd go tobed early and take it then
If the four ibuprofen I'm about to take with lunch don't help, is there any reason I shouldn't break out the flexeril and tylenol 3 for this? I just want the muscles to loosen up so I can write again, and not be in such constant pain.
You can take the flexeri and tylenol 3 if the ibuprofen doesn't work, no problem.
